Edge Hill University

Studying at Edge Hill is not just about achieving a piece of paper – everything is tailored towards building students’ knowledge and skills that they need for their chosen career, making employability a key focus in every postgraduate programme.

No matter the course, students will be working with industry-standard facilities so that when they do complete their course and find a role, they will be working with the same tools and software they are already used to. And they’ll benefit from guest speakers too, who will offer perspective and experience on their own transition into working life.

There’s a dedicated Careers Team that offer various workshops based around employment skills, as well as individual support on a one-to-one level. They can help with guidance and interview practice, as well as connecting students to work experience opportunities.

The university works hard to help students meet with potential employers, and as a result 100% of taught master’s graduates, and over 95% of PCGE graduates, are either working or in further study within 15 months of completing their course (Graduate Outcomes 2019/20). Careers support is offered for up to three years after graduation.
